I Am Malala

I read another book called I Am Malala. This book is about a girl named Malala standing up and "fighting" for her education. She lives in Pakistan, Swat Valley. In Pakistan, women have to where veils when they get old enough when they want to go outside. There is this group called Taliban and they are mean people, who are trying to get things in order by the strict Islamic rules. They said that girls should not study. Women should only clean and make food. When girls and woman go outside, they would have to be accompanied by their male family member. But even when Malala was young, she knew that these rules weren't right. When she became a teenager, radio Mullah started. This was a illegal radio station, and it used an earthquake to tell people what to do. He said don't listen to music and other weird stuff to not do. The women thought that this was real. Most of them didn't have any education. The voice behind this radio Mullah was Maulana Fazlullah. He was one of the TNSM(Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Sharia-e-Mohammadi). The TNSM helped many people after a big earthquake, but they used that to make people follow their command. Malala just wanted education back. At first, Fazlullah only attacked men because attacking women is against the Muslim law. But they killed lots of men, they publicly whipped people, and started to kill and attack women too. Malala wanted to do something. So she wrote a diary on the internet that was on BBC. She also did interviews, and she was often on the TV. The Taliban almost killed her though. It was an ordinary day and she was going home from school on the school bus. Then two men came in with a gun. They shot her, and it went in under her neck. The doctor said that it was dangerous, and would have been more dangerous if it was in there longer. She survived, and she got a novel peace prize. She is the youngest person to get the novel peace prize. If a teenage girl almost died for her education, we should be proud, and thankful for our education.
